The general practice sector continues to undergo the biggest change since Medicare was created in 1984. New funding and care initiatives to better equip general practice to meet the challenges of an ageing population and chronic illness are underway, being evaluated and where necessary adjusted.
As always, NWMPHN is playing a vital role in coordinating these reforms:
- informing, supporting and commissioning service providers to ensure effective and efficient change that enables people to stay well in their homes and communities.
- informing and backing general practice and allied health providers through advocacy, education and clinical support.
Of note among this year was the General Practice in Aged Care Incentive, which has needed significant change management, as well as the continued rollout of MyMedicare.
Coordinating change
State and federal governments are investing in significant reforms to increase access to primary care. NWMPHN plays a vital role facilitating this process by supporting primary care providers through innovative new programs.
